The religious and political spheres of the later medieval and early modern periods were tightly and indisputably interwoven, as illustrated by the papal schism, the Hundred Years War, the Reconquest of Spain, and the English Reformation. In these events as well as in the larger religiopolitical systems in which they unfolded, female saints, devout lay women, and monastic women played central roles. In Women of God and Arms, Nancy Bradley Warren explores the political dimensions of the religious practices of women ranging from St. Colette of Corbie to Isabel of Castile to English nuns exiled during the reign of Elizabeth I. Just as religious and political systems were bound up with one another, so too were the internal and external politics of England and several continental realms. Blood and marriage connected the English dynasties of Lancaster and York with those of France, Burgundy, Flanders, and Castile, creating tangled networks of alliances and animosities. In addition to being linked through ties of kinship, these realms were joined by frequent textual and cultural exchanges. Warren draws upon a wide variety of sources—hagiography, chronicles, monastic records, devotional treatises, military manuals, political propaganda, and texts traditionally designated as literary—as she examines the ways manifestations of female spirituality operated at the intersections of civic, international, and ecclesiastical politics. Her exploration breaches boundaries separating the medieval and the early modern, the religious and the secular, the material and the symbolic, the literary and the historical, as it sheds new light on well-known figures such as Joan of Arc, Isabel of Castile, and Elizabeth I.

Prophecy foretells the coming of an Antichrist, a powerful, charming but evil dictatorial leader who appears during a time of worldwide desperation and deprivation and provides a chaotic world with hope. His coming will not be the result of a gentle, bloodless coup or an antiseptic political evolution. It will be accomplished and accompanied by brutality and bloodshed on an unprecedented scale. This remarkable individual with supernatural diplomatic skill will dazzle a desperate generation and bring peace to a world staggering on the precipice of anarchy and annihilation. Hence, he will be lauded as historys greatest Peacebroker. The Antichrist, the one nonfictional personality portrayed in this book, according to the prophets, will come to power in a deadtotruth world and most will flock to this remarkable man as the proverbial moths to the flame. They will be drawn to his warmth and light only to be destroyed by his fire. Using the actual biblically prophesied timeline as a plumb line this fictional account occurs just as the man of sin begins his conspiratorial assent to become an allpowerful world ruler. The story answers the oft posed question by many students of prophecy who read of his meteoric rise to power and ask, How could this happen? Having spent the last 35 years as a Biblical preacher, teacher and researcher, Phil Arms remains true to both the tenets of the faith and the basic eschatological facts revealed in the Word of God. For Christians, books such as this stimulate faith in Gods prophetic Word and encourages anticipation of that Blessed Hope. For those without Christ, books such as this, accompanied by the godly witness left by raptured believers, will be among thefew pointers to Truth for those trapped in the tribulation holocaust. It will help them understand what is happening to their world and why and what to do to escape the wrath to come.
